5 /5 Martello Aimee (Cherry): A unique experience that I enjoyed way more than I expected.
We were celebrating a new job, so my partner and I got the set meals. My choices were the marshmallow soup, the jaubon and cheese, and the chocolate. My partner got a cheese plate, the truffle mushroom, and the raspberry.
The marshmallow soup was as good as reviews described. A very good tomato bisque, and the marshmallows were true to texture while having a mild goat cheese flavor. The pesto touch was very good. Dip the bread they bring to the table in it for sure! My boyfriend also really liked the cheese plate. Note that the cheeses were blue cheese, Camembert, a goat cheese, and a truffle infused one.
I’d say the main course was actually the low point for me, but it was still very good. Extremely fluffy meringue texture with egg taste. Partner and I agreed they were good but could’ve used some sort of sauce to add more notes.
We both enjoyed our dessert soufflés more. Our waitress was kind enough to let me get chocolate, and it had the energy of a mug cake if you’ve ever made one. The chocolate sauce made it great. Boyfriend really loved his raspberry one, and described the sauce as melted ice cream. I tried a bit and would liken his to a muffin.
The atmosphere was extremely cute and unique inside, with low light and character. Our waitress was attentive and offered great recommendations. It was overall a great place to have a slightly upscale meal or date, and I’m interested in returning. The artichoke appetizer in particular caught my eye. I will say that it is quite light—had we not both had two soufflés, an appetizer and bread, I think it’s possible we would’ve left hungry.
Overall a great place to have in the area and I’ll be back!
